Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "hoh" (as in "hope") + "neh" (as in "net") + "AHR" (as in "art") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To get down or sink into a low mood. In Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, bajonearse is that specific drop in spirit when something hits you emotionally: the world goes gray, motivation disappears, and you just cannot shake the feeling.

Examples

I got pretty down when we broke up, it took me a while to come back from it.

Don't let it get to you, tomorrow all of this will seem a lot less serious.
